You can also specify whether to share the task with others, to allow them to see and run the task, but not to modify it.
Click Next to proceed with task creation or click Finish to complete the creation using the default values and exit without proceeding to the following steps. If you are editing an existing task, properties are organized in tabs.
In the Filter Criteria panel, specify some broad filtering criteria to limit the results retrieved by your query. Here you start refining the scope of your query by also considering the amount of information you want to retrieve. You can search for event rule definitions based on their status, validity intervals, or types of events and associated actions.
In the Columns Definition panel, select the information you want to display in the table containing the query results. According to the columns you choose here, the corresponding information is displayed in the task results table. For example, for each of the event rule definitions resulting from your query, you might want to see the status, type, or timeframe during which it is valid. You can then drill down into this information displayed in the table and navigate it. In the Columns Definition panel, not only can you select the columns for this task results, but you can also specify the columns for secondary queries on event rule instances. The information to be retrieved with these secondary queries is specified in this panel.
In the All Configured Tasks panel, you can see the main details about the task that you have just created. You can also choose to run the task immediately. The task is now in the list of your tasks where you can open and modify it. You can find it in the task lists displayed by clicking the following options: All Configured Tasks or Administration > Workload Definitions > Manage Event Rules.
After running the task, a table is displayed showing a list of event rule definitions, on which you can take several actions, such as setting them as complete or as draft depending whether you want to make them available for deployment.
